ENGRD 1050 Presentations
The Basics
Throughout the Fall semester, AguaClara gives presentations in the Intro to Engineering 1050 classes for Freshmen. The purpose of these presentations is to get new students interested in joining the project. You will likely be contacted by professors, faculty-advisors, or peer-advisors to set these up.
In general, it is recommended that two AguaClara team members conduct these presentations; if two Outreach team members are not available, utilize the AguaClara listserve to contact a replacement. One member (or both members, to be safe) should bring a flash-drive/laptop that contains a copy of the chosen PowerPoint presentation.
A typical presentation consists of:
a) the PowerPoint presentation,
b) an explanation of the demo plant, and
c) the AguaClara in Honduras slide-show (optional).
It would also be wise to send reminder e-mails to the professor and to the team members giving the presentation before hand; follow up afterward to see how it went.

Planning Presentations
There are a few options for these handling presentations:
...
If the presentation is in the lab you will want to check out a projector from the library. Make sure you have enough time to get one from another library (for instance, Mann) if the one in Engineering is checked out. As with all other options, set up the demo plant before beginning the presentation. The conveniences of presenting within the lab are that set-up and clean-up are much easier, and you do not have to worry about finding an available room for the presentation. Keep in mind that the lab is not especially large and does not have any seating; taking into consideration the class size and length, you can assess which presentation option will work best.
